Abstract: For implant molding of toothbrushes pre-cut and pre-rounded fiber of thermoplastic material are used. Loose fibers are presented to an endrounding tool in a tuft or bundle and the free ends of the fibers are exposed to a working surface of the tool. Relative movement between the fiber ends and working surface causes the material of the fibers to be heated by friction of a predetermined intensity. The fibers while they are exposed to the working surface of the tool are permitted to flex laterally and are held in an axial direction of the tuft or bundle with their free ends commonly defining a surface different from a plane which is perpendicular to the axial direction, thereby achieving a substantially consistent flexing resistance throughout the cross-section of the tuft or bundle with respect to lateral deflection upon engagement by the endrounding tool.

Abstract: A restaurant emissions abatement system is disclosed which employs a rotary heat regenerative thermal or catalytic oxidizer. Thus, heat which normally would be exhausted into the atmosphere, is recovered by being transferred to incoming unoxidized restaurant emissions. The rotary oxidizers may be of a variety of designs including orientations which allow for perpendicular or axial flow of the emissions stream through the rotary oxidizer relative to the axis of rotation. The rotary design of the oxidizers also provides an advantage of permitting in-situ cleaning of the oxidizer (i.e., not having to remove oxidizer from abatement system) by simply lowering the speed of the oxidizer's rotation or stopping rotation altogether to permit hot gases to thoroughly oxidize accumulations of such contaminants as greases and fats.

Abstract: The bag-making process is for a bag with a flat bottom and a stuck-in internal crosspiece. A contact adhesive (34, 52, 54) is used for the internal crosspiece. Its adhesive properties are only effective when two surfaces coated with this adhesive are pressed against each other. The contact adhesive is applied to the bag material before this material is closed to form a tube and before the bottom position is established. Adhesion is then achieved after pressing the internal crosspiece, with contact adhesive applied, to the flat bottom (18).

Abstract: An anti-aliasing filter for use in an incoherent imaging system reduces the resolution of the optical image to prevent aliasing, without requiring a reduction in the amount of light captured by the system, and without adversely affecting image quality or requiring complex optical systems. The filter modifies the wavefront of light emanating from the object in a curved, non-symmetrical manner, in such a way as to effectively attenuate spatial frequencies in the image to values less than some desired small level for all spatial frequencies beyond a predetermined bandlimit. The filter may be reflective or transmissive.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un appareil de contention et de protection qui permet d'éviter que les composants onéreux d'un système subissent des dommages dus à une défaillance d'un composant électronique se trouvant dans un circuit encapsulé adjacent que l'on sait capable de défaillir de manière catastrophique. Cet appareil de contention peut faire appel à un matériau élastique (38) que l'on place autour du composant électronique à risque (34) avant d'encapsuler le circuit. Le matériau élastique (38) va absorber les gaz en expansion ainsi que les parties fragmentées du composant à risque (34) qui sont expulsés lors d'une défaillance catastrophique. L'effet coussin du matériau élastique (38) empêche les fragments et des parties du matériau d'encapsulation de se transformer en projectiles qui pourraient endommager des composants adjacents dans le système. Cet appareil de contention peut également faire appel à un matériau restrictif (42) que l'on place autour du composant à risque (34) avant d'encapsuler le circuit. Le matériau restrictif (42) va empêcher tous les fragments du composant à risque (34) ainsi que les gaz en expansion qui ont été expulsés de venir briser le matériau d'encapsulation et de former des projectiles qui pourraient endommager des composants adjacents dans le système. Il est également possible de combiner le matériau élastique (38) et le matériau restrictif (42) de manière à prévenir plus efficacement les dommages à un composant adjacent dans le système.

Abstract: A group of cells (2, fig. 1) e.g. picocells or microcells, within the coverage (11, fig. 1) of a common simulcast carrier or umbrella cell, each transmit an identical broadcast signal on the same simulcast carrier frequency f5. A mobile station (4, 4', fig. 1) in this communication network, is arranged to intermittently perform an intracellular handover to the common simulcast carrier, that is, to an uplink timeslot TS2 on the simulcast carrier frequency and while the mobile is using the common simulcast carrier, measurements of the radio environment are performed. For example, a mobile station in a call using a timeslot TS1 in a traffic frequency f2 different from the simulcast carrier frequency f5 receives a control signal (5, fig. 1) on the carrier f5, generated possibly in response to detection of a low signal level or quality, that instructs the mobile to handover to the simulcast carrier frequency TS2. The timeslot freed in the traffic channel TS1 is then available to the picocellular head (1, fig. 1) for interference measurements to assist in frequency allocation between the network cells. Alternatively all the picocellular heads in the simulcast cells may make uplink measurements on the mobile using the simulcast carrier f5, to determine the best picocell for handover. The mobile may also be arranged to be assigned temporarily to the simulcast carrier when it originates a call, allowing uplink measurements to be made to select the most appropriate cell. Arrangements avoids frequency ambiguities associated with downlink measurements made by mobile stations prior to handover in conventional simulcast systems.

Abstract: A system and method for managing clinical trial data includes dynamically generating, at a server, a data entry form to be displayed at a client. The data entry form is generated dynamically in a SGML-derived language. Control elements within the form comprise images which are used to construct the control elements and larger controls. The form is generated from a protocol database and a context received from the client, is populated from the data database, and is published to the client. Templates based on the protocol database comprise several frames including intermediate frames for displaying frame borders which are non-horizontal and non-vertical. If the trial protocol changes during a trial, the generated form is based on the protocol version active at the time data was entered into the form. Inadvertent use of the application is discouraged requiring an authentication procedure and displaying a picture of the authenticated user. Furthermore, help is provided by creating a link between the text of each question and information about the question. The source of help may be any or all of a protocol document, an investigative brochure, and a study guide. In addition, a user, upon logging in, is presented with a dashboard screen which provides information or links to information such as trial-related news, alerts, statistical information, progress reports and a list of work to be completed.
